    Wavesecure beta...locked phone

    I got a new phone, and, forgetting I had put wavesecure on my phone when I got it about 2 and a half years ago, put a PAYG sim in so my daughter could have it (the PAYG sim was by my provider T-mobile, and used to work in the phone). I started the old hero up, then put in my old security number...

    Will this bike charger work with hero?

    I'm looking to work out a way of charging my hero from a dynamo on my bike for when away touring in remote locations. I came across this: Nokia UK - Nokia Bicycle Charger Kit - Overview It comes with a 2mm jack, so won't fit the Hero, but I notice Nokia also do a converter from what I...

    Anyway of storing/caching Google maps?

    I really like the new Google Navigation, and it would be really handy for when I go abroad cycling, apart from the roaming charges. Any apps that can cashe the maps and store them, or must I always be connected? Thanks

    Google navigation for T-mobile hero android?

    Sorry, not much time to search at the minute. I noticed Google maps are doing navigation for Android 1.6. I'm pretty sure I'm on 1.5 (t-mobile Europe). Is T-mobile still testing the 1.6 update (as I seem to remember it was a good while back)? Are we likely to get it at all, or will I have...

    Can't turn off wi-fi

    I'm trying to see if my Maverick GPS app will work without any internet connection (just cached maps), for a planned trip abroad where I'm trying to avoid internet roaming fees, but no matter how hard I try, I can;t seem to get the wi-fi on my phone to stay off. I turn it off with the wi-fi...

    GPS, internet, foreign travel

    I'm planning a cycling trip to Europe (I live in UK), and realise if I use the onboard GPS which uses Google Maps, I'll be charged a roaming fee on top of my normal contract fee. I'm wondering if I buy the GPS app (right turn?), will it use the internet and cost me, or does it run...

    Can't blog

    If I open blogger via Dolphin, I can get to the edit page, and even edit the title, but not the body text. Am I doing something wrong?

    So, am I right in thinking...

    that if I download loads of aps, they only run when I run them? I've noticed my hero has got a lot slower in the last few days. Of course, I've downloaded a load of aps, but I wonder how many of them actually run. Do I need to run them, or will they be running in the background? Does it depend...

    Layer and camera fx

    can't find layer in store (tried the barcode in the hints and tricks, but phone says no link), and can only find what appear to be addons for Camera FX, and another version which I'm not sure is the one mentioned in the tips and tricks post. Are they still there?

    G3 notification bar...

    I notice that if my gps/3g is enabled, it doesn't show in the notification bar. Have I perhaps turned off something to show the notification, or does it mean GPS/3g isn't working? I use task killer, which I wonder is messing things up.

    data roaming option

    I'm on a tmobile contract, free mobile, included, and I notice there's an option in my hero's setting which is unchecked at present for data roaming. I tried checking it, and it warned of the prospect of extra chrarges. Will this be the case, with my contract?

    Default weather app wrong.

    It says my location is London, when it's Manchester. Also, it doesn;t display the weather unless I open it. Am I right in thinking I can just uninstall it and install a new one?

    How do I set up a sim lock?

    I've found the place in the settings "Set up sim card lock", and I assumed you just put a number in, but I did that and it said the number was wrong. I now have 2 attempts left, or so it says. How do you set up a lock so you have to input a number when you start the phone. THanks

    How do I copy contacts from old phone?

    I've got an old sony errikson which obviously has all my contacts on. I've just got the hero, and want to import my old phonebook. I've put the old sim card in the hero, but can see no way of copying the info off the sim. I synced the hero with the old card in it to my pc. Will this have...
